This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

My sister’s name is Barb, and since she didn’t get married for several years after I did, there was a period where we had two Barb Griffins in the family. Once, my wife and I were at mom and dad’s house, and my sister’s fiancee called there to see if she was there. I answered the phone. He asked, “Is Barb there?” I said, “Which Barb?” He said “Barb Griffin.” I said, “Which Barb Griffin?”…

That’s pretty much how the phone calls go.
“Frank”
“Which Frank?”
“Frank Bell.”
“Which Frank Bell.”
and so on.
(Apparently we sound pretty similar on the phone–some of the callers just start talking. They get really confused when they realize they started a conversation with someone three times their age with, “Yo, Dude.”

Talking with you is like an initiation of sorts for people I know. They aren’t real friends until they’ve confused us on the phone.
